Default Any FLHS Riders?

I was crusing the internet looking for a new bike and found the FLHS...what a cool Glide!!! I guess its the for-runner of the RK. I found a couple of them for sale, I think I found my next ride.

Are you selling your 03?

FLHS was the fore-runner to the RK. Early 90's era EVO.

Yes the 03 is going away, my knee just cant take the top-heavy of the Ultra. I need a lighter bike, with the weight low, but still want a tourer.

Is it sold yet? Too bad you are so far away, I've been looking for the right 03 Ultra and yours fits the bill.

Dont know how much different a RK will be on your knee. Do you use a brace?

No its not sold yet just on consignment. I tried a RK the other day, its really a different feel, the weight is much lower than my Ultra and isnt as "tippy" as the Ultra. Before I blew my knee it was no big deal, riding isnt the issue, its the wife getting on and off. Its much easier on my knee on the RK.
